During the verification process, you may be asked to provide both an EIN number and your personal Social Security Number or Social Insurance Number (Canada).
Here is some additional clarity in the WePay verification process:
WePay uses your social security number (“SSN”) as part of its identity verification program.
They verify the identity of each user of the WePay service in order to manage risk and to comply with anti-money laundering laws. If you are acting on behalf of an entity with an EIN, WePay requires your SSN so that WePay can verify who you are and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the entity.
If you are an individual or sole proprietor, WePay will use your SSN for any required tax reporting
If you are acting on behalf of a corporation or other organization with an Employer Identification Number (“EIN”), WePay will use the EIN for any required tax reporting
